At least we can finally get a break from the psychos running for the republican primary and the ass-kissing chicken feast the democratic debates have become.

Wha? He has some weird people supporting him, and his views aren't perfect, but he's no psycho as far as I can tell.

My mistake. I thought you were talking about the website itself, not the story. The story was what I was referring to, and yes, I did read it.

Maybe I'm taking this too serious. I like Colbert, but let's face it, he mocks everything we on the right hold dear. He is good at it, many on the right don't even realize he is mocking them.

Are that many people on the right that stupid? I've watched his show a couple of times and honestly, I don't think he's good at it at all. He's more of a caricature of how a liberal might view a conservative than anything else. The way he acts isn't even extreme, it's just stupid. He hardly acts like any other conservative would. I realize that he thinks he's mocking Bill O'Reilly, but as someone who watches O'Reilly on a pretty regular basis, he acts like someone who just wants to twist how O'Reilly really is in order to make him look dumb. IMO, that just makes Colbert look even dumber.
Between the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, I pretty much don't watch Comedy Central from 8-9pm just because it is so stupid. I'm honestly surprised so many young people actually watch it for "news" since it's really anything but. Of course, that would explain on the misinformation that's out there.

I like Colbert, he does some funny stuff. But my perception is that there are so many politically illiterate people out there that wouldn't have any idea what a conservative really is and walk away from Colbert thinking that he pretty well sums them up, even though he don't come close. He is a satire, I see it, you see it, but idiots like Bill Maher don't. I rarely watch the Daily Show, Stewart as increasingly gotten worse over the past couple of years of constantly knocking the war and the President, even if he has a good point there is only so much of it you can listen to. I also watch O'Reilly everyday, despite the fact the lefties in Hollywood label him a hardcore Conservative, I don't think he is. I seem him as more of a traditionalist. I don't disagree with too much he says except his stance against the Death Penalty. Anyone who faces evil in the eye and or loses a loved one to these sickos, knows the death penalty is necessary and essential.

Bill Maher? But isn't he just another one of those leftist idiots? I'm sure Bill Maher interprets everything the right does in the same way Colbert does, but I don't think either of them see that as a serious conservative. I'm sure they both view it as "harmless comedy". I personally see it as lame, stupid comedy that isn't funny. And I don't see it as funny because they never do it to anybody on the left. But my real issue is with the stupid young people that watch it as real news and treat it like real news. That's a problem, especially since it's not real news.

The Daily Show reports the real news it just makes fun of it. Which I prefer over the constant fear the local news spits out at you.

I agree with this to a degree. It seems like all traditional news outlets--Fox News included--seem to get their pleasure in life from making viewers as worried as possible about the state of the world. It kind of gets tiring after a while.
Half-hour News Hour is pretty funny too. (The first episode not so much, but subsequent episodes have been good)

Maybe I'm taking this too serious. I like Colbert, but let's face it, he mocks everything we on the right hold dear. He is good at it, many on the right don't even realize he is mocking them.
Lest we forget that Colbert is a liberal in wolf's clothing. His act is to constantly satire those from the serious end of the cable news industry. He actually takes things as he believes O'Reilly would do and runs with them.

Are that many people on the right that stupid? I've watched his show a couple of times and honestly, I don't think he's good at it at all. He's more of a caricature of how a liberal might view a conservative than anything else. The way he acts isn't even extreme, it's just stupid. He hardly acts like any other conservative would. I realize that he thinks he's mocking Bill O'Reilly, but as someone who watches O'Reilly on a pretty regular basis, he acts like someone who just wants to twist how O'Reilly really is in order to make him look dumb. IMO, that just makes Colbert look even dumber.
Between the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, I pretty much don't watch Comedy Central from 8-9pm just because it is so stupid. I'm honestly surprised so many young people actually watch it for "news" since it's really anything but. Of course, that would explain on the misinformation that's out there.
I like Colbert, he does some funny stuff. But my perception is that there are so many politically illiterate people out there that wouldn't have any idea what a conservative really is and walk away from Colbert thinking that he pretty well sums them up, even though he don't come close. He is a satire, I see it, you see it, but idiots like Bill Maher don't. I rarely watch the Daily Show, Stewart as increasingly gotten worse over the past couple of years of constantly knocking the war and the President, even if he has a good point there is only so much of it you can listen to. I also watch O'Reilly everyday, despite the fact the lefties in Hollywood label him a hardcore Conservative, I don't think he is. I seem him as more of a traditionalist. I don't disagree with too much he says except his stance against the Death Penalty. Anyone who faces evil in the eye and or loses a loved one to these sickos, knows the death penalty is necessary and essential.
Bill Maher? But isn't he just another one of those leftist idiots? I'm sure Bill Maher interprets everything the right does in the same way Colbert does, but I don't think either of them see that as a serious conservative. I'm sure they both view it as "harmless comedy". I personally see it as lame, stupid comedy that isn't funny. And I don't see it as funny because they never do it to anybody on the left. But my real issue is with the stupid young people that watch it as real news and treat it like real news. That's a problem, especially since it's not real news.
I hope to God that there aren't people in the world who honestly believe that the show is real newscasting. Don't get me wrong, it's a great show, but it airs on Comedy Central, for Chrsit's sake.
Have you ever seen Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner? I think that is proof somebody thought it was real or just didn't watch the show before booking him.

Ah, but of course. The level of ownage in that speech was amazing. I can't believe someone went to hire him, knowing that he has a television show. Makes you wonder if they even bothered researching him at all.

musn't....go...off...topic
logical fallacy...is so egregiously assumed...but either way...can't stand....fact that...ferris...should have spelled it..."they're" ...He is self described as being a democrat, and he describes the conservative right as...aww I can't remember, but he basically was saying there's some good people there, and some real bad people too. The thing I'd like about him is that he isn't a political idealogue. Nobody is stupid enough (scratch that)--Most people understand his comedy and wouldn't be surprised if democratic policies started coming out of his mouth. But when we elect Colbert, we elect the man, but we also elect his character. So when he talks about national health care for all citizens or something, he has to find a way to make it happen and be begrudgingly defeated over it.

Yeah, just like the Democrat party.
Not yet. Just like Jesse Ventura wasn't a political idealogue and he only served one term. Someone like Colbert would find it impossible to get anything done without aligning himself with one party. The majority in Congress is a slim one at best and they don't even have the power to do whatever they want right now since they simply don't have enough votes to override a veto.

I disagree. For the people that actually buy into him, all he'd have to say is that he wants national health care and that we can figure out how to pay for it later. Maybe he'd add something like "I have a plan, but it's a secret and if I tell you what the plan is, the other candidates will steal my idea". The people that would vote for him would accept that and vote for him anyway. He'll be defeated anyway, simply because there aren't enough stupid young people to get him into office.
